Carson Ridge’s Green Lodging Program currently includes:
- Member of the IStayGreen hotels program
- A recycling program for our entire bed and breakfast in Washington State, with blue boxes in all cabins to encourage guests to recycle and remind them of the importance of recycling
- Presently the items disposed of in the blue boxes are sorted into recyclable categories and delivered to the nearest recycle depot
- The cabins’ complimentary bottles of water have been replaced with reusable glass bottles, Guests may purchase the reusable PCB-free plastic water bottles find in their cabins for a nominal fee – they are perfect for hiking and touring around
- Disposable coffee cups have been replaced with re-usable to-go mugs so you can still have your coffee on the road, but not harm the environment. These are available for purchase as well
- A towel re-use program is in place so only towels that require washing will be replaced, thus reducing both water and energy consumption
